The first weekend in June we headed up to Midway for the Utah Optometric Associations annual meeting. It has been fun to make this a tradition, maybe someday Andrew can do his continuing education credits somewhere else but for now it is fun to take our family up there! Ella had to miss her last day of school because it started the day before the last day but she really didn't miss anything!
These two pictures are out of order, they are from the carnival the last night! Addie was so excited to get her face painted!
I was trying to get ready and loaded while Andrew was at work for a couple of hours! Addie was so excited to wear her backpack like the other two! It did look pretty cute on her!
We got there on Thursday night just in time for dinner. We always go to the onsite restaurant because they had half price pizzas but the place changed to a BBQ place this year so it was different but the food was amazing!!!
They had this girl playing songs behind us and we looked around and realized we were the only ones left in the place and she was playing whatever my kids wanted! It was a little awkward!
After dinner we went back to our room and the kids watched a movie and I baked some cookies from some dough I had made before we left home!
The next morning Andrew got up early and headed to classes! It was our first official day of summer break so we slept in and then we got up and I made german pancakes! The kids were in heaven! We love staying at this place where they have it because it has a nice kitchen to make some treats and our own breakfast!
By the time we finished breakfast and dishes and everyone got showered it was almost 11! We headed out for a nice walk and to go on the merry go round! The kids love this part of the hotel! We walked around some more and we had taken their scooters so they rode them, which turned out to be such a good thing to take with us!
I knew we were going to have some down time while Addie napped each day so I got each of them a small lego set and they both played with them for a few hours each day while she napped!
She woke up and I had brought some puzzles I bought a while back for Addie to do! She loves them!
Friday night we walked across the street and through the golf course to go see our friends Dan and Mandy. His parents have a place off the course and they were up there the same weekend so we headed over to say hi! It was such a nice walk! We chatted for a while and the kids played! We enjoyed sitting on their back porch watching a family of deer walk all over the golf course!
The family of deer ended up in the field next door and the kids were all in awe watching them!
Dan drove us back to the hotel and we agreed to let the kids swim. We were waiting for my parents to come up to spend the rest of the weekend with us so it gave us something to do to kill the time!
Saturday morning we got up and made some blueberry pancakes and Andrew came back from his class and took the kids to the pool again! Addie is a little fish and scares me to death she loves the pool so much! The rest of Saturday we walked around and then we just relaxed until it was time for the carnival.
One of the associations sponsors puts on a family carnival and it is always so much fun! They have hamburgers, hot dogs, and lots of yummy food. They set up a bounce house, you can go on the merry go round, they also set up a photo booth, face painter, and balloon artist. This year they also had some cotton candy! It was such a fun night and the kids loved it!
After the carnival we took my parents and went and got some ice cream at a local ice cream place! Then we drove up to a monument/memorial to show my parents! It was a nice night and we really enjoyed being with them! It was such a nice weekend! We enjoyed having my parents with us for part of it!
